Thicke: Slicke or Dicke?

I might listen to nothing but Robin Thicke in 2012.

omg robin thicke's wikipedia photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Thicke

in which he looks like a composite of keith olbermann and rachel maddow

lmao rev

man msnbc u

thicky

apparently it's the only thread about him here.
new video is fun although very misogynist (but Emily Ratajkowksi is great)
The song, not so much and Thicke's singing is just awful !

R&B 2013

oh ok, thanks !
poor Robin, doesn't even deserve his own threads !

I know its offsides and lamentable to laugh at your own shit, but I truly enjoy the title of this post, only to discover that I penned it. Oh, I slay me.

Id go full lesbian for emily ratajkowski. Perfect ratio in her body. Im usually against women used as sex dolls but in her case its completely justified.

Just in case you were curious.

Not sure why theyre trying to market robin thicke as a sex symbol, tho.

damn, I was really stressing and having a shitty time today and then "Blurred Lines" came on and all of that was gone instantly

The thinking man's JT.

And don't overthink "Teach U A Lesson," you people above--he's just playing around, and it's a great song.

haha "Blurred Lines" is dumb as hell tho, or at least just dumb enough

i wonder if "locked out of heaven" kinda paved the way for "blurred lines" to go no 1

...in what way?

yeah, what?

Oh, I hadn't even noticed this was #1 in the U.S. now, too. Well done.

With a couple of exceptions, the whole top 10 is surprisingly decent.

on the video evidence, emily ratajkowski & TI are the only ppl featured who can dance

i don't understand the connection b/w "locked out of heaven" and this

P funny to me that theres an 11 year old AiNYC thread for a guy i didnt know existed until a few months ago.

also funny that this long-haired crap tv scion calling himself THICKE wound up with his first #1 eleven years later

Thicke: Slicke or Dicke?

as great as "blurred lines" i wonder if he'd have pulled this off if he stuck with the og haircut and moniker

yeah, wtf this guy had a #1 hit? this ain't the real life

Cisco Adler take notes.

this being no. 1 is so fucking cynical. I mean this has basically been the model for music videos since forever, but still, how long until someone re-releases their video as straight-up porn and zooms to the top of the charts

he already had a porn star name so why not

tbf the video came out and was taken down in march. his us chart rise really came after it was performed on the voice

further "thicke"-era trivia: dude co-wrote Jordan Knight's "Give It To You" with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis

cool

He's really good at dumbfounding me, which I guess is pretty respectable.

I have to isolate this sentence from a 2002 post because it pretty much sums up his whole career.

"hey, you co-wrote that Jordan Knight hit? Good for you!"

"Yeah, my debut album's coming out! It's called CHERRY BLUE SKIES"

"i see! well...you gonna cut your hair?"

"no! and call me THICKE!"

"..."

hilarious that one of my favorite fake timbaland songs is written by that team. damn

...in what way?

eh something about the groove idk

i love the original video for this so much but it sucks they put out the "unrated version"

kinda ruined the pure wtf joy of the original

Yeah absolutely. It'd be like if the album version didn't say "what rhymes with 'hug me'"

i haven't seen the "unrated" version, but the difference is just that they're topless right? i mean, the models are already half-dressed in the other video, so it seems kind of arbitrary to act like they ruined some innocent fun by being piggish

"why'd they have to go an ruin a delightful swimsuit issue by going full playboy"

It's still on Vevo, you can look and see for yourself if it doesn't substantially lose its charm

the unrated version has less t.i. dancing which is enough to condemn it

xpost i'm sure it does. my point is that the video was ALREADY a bunch of leering dudes in suits surrounded by half-naked women.

i dunno the thing i liked about the video is that it sort of felt like a miracle, like it came out way better than the concept would leave you to believe. there's something accidentally great about it, i think.

the video the unrated version feels crass to me not because there's boobs but because it feels overthought

wish "Love After War" had been the pop hit that Thicke's "Got To Get It Up Pt. 23" is.

if two versions were "one where everybody's in classy nightwear" and "one where the ladies are half-dressed" we'd probably be saying the same thing. what classy ilxor dude is going to say "i prefer the more objectifying one".

i haven't heard "love after war" but i don't begrudge the ongoing Got To Give It Up franchise in fact it should get a montage at the grammys

"love after war" is pretty good as is that entire album but it's no "blurred lines"
